A day of tweets in Paris

Our first social media operation, meant to marry Twitter and poetry. The idea is simple and based on a well-known text by Georges Perec: « An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris ». On the 19th of April, 2013, the city was invited to tweet about that very day: places, details, stories, feelings… in 140 characters, of course. More than 10.000 tweets were published with the impenetrable hashtag #JDTAP. Town crier even shouted the best tweets throughout Paris.

Paris j’écoute ?!

Paris Speaking !

Yet another member in the family. We launched @ParisJecoute in September 2013 to answer directly all your questions in real time. Since then, we answer 10.000 questions every year. Whatever they may be.
